JuJu Bee's A Very Merry Blog Hop

The time is now here!! I am so excited too. Today marks the beginning of JuJu Bee's A Very Merry Blog Hop & Crop and I am so glad that you decided to join me! If you haven't already visited JuJu Bee's please go there to begin your Hopping Experience! We are celebrating JuJu Bee's 2 year anniversary as well as this Awesome time of year. You know, the time of year when you can spend all day snuggled up on the couch with a fuzzy blanket and some hot cocoa watching Christmas movies. Yep, I love this time of year. But it's also the season for giving...and in a lot of us scrapper's worlds we give what we create from our own blood, sweat, and tears. (Ok maybe that's just me being clumsy with my Xacto knife again) But none the less, we craft our hearts out! I would like to take a few moments to share with you a few projects that I have created for the Blog Hop. All these projects were created using past JuJu Bee's kits. I loved mixing them all together, it brought out a sense of rebelness!!

This is a 'Piggy bank' that I created for my DD. She insisted that she needed one, and I know better. So I humored her and made her this little thing, but I added favorites to the front because I know that all she will end up putting in this can is misc random stuff that she collects from Lord knows where. But to her it's special randomness. I was so excited to make this in all honesty. I ended up using a formula can that I have had stashed forever because one day I just knew I would use them....and look, 2 years later I did! Go me!

That very same DD is such a good sport. She models for me even when all she want to do is go read her book! This is a necklace I created using little scraps from the kits. I used a button maker and instead of using fabric I carefully used paper. I think it's cute, and definataly looks like my daughter!

Here is a close up of the actual buttons I covered. Who said you can't wear your scrapbook paper?! I believe you should!

Aww, here is a card I made for my DH. We are celebrating our 9 year Wedding anniversary on the 28th so I made this to send to him. Darn I wish that handsome man could be here with me!

mmmm... Marble Mocha Macchiato from our very favorite Starbucks. You know how it's good? Cuz when they write the little abbreviation on the side of the cup to let them know what to make... it says "MMM". Proof enough for me! It's like heaven in a cup!!

Your projects are all fab as usual. I am a follower of your blog. What a great prize. My fav Winterish drink is hot chocolate. It's a must have and it reminds me of my mom and childhood. I even had a cup this morning with breakfast.

Hi Amy! I became a follower - you're projects are awesome! My own DD's would LOVE a neclace like that! Do you have a tutorial on it?My favourite wintry drink is an Eggnog Latte. Yum! My second favourite drink is a "special" hot chocolate. Bailey's yumminess!!!Thanks for the opportunity to win!

HI Amy! I became a follower and added this to my fav blogs as well!Fav winter drink? I this qualifys for two answers. I love hot tea, but not just in the winter so I guess hot chocolate sitting by the fire - esp camping - would be the fist answer.Fave holiday drink would be egg nog because it brings back all the memories of my childhood of my parents and their friends getting together and all us kids playing in the back.Janelle #2

A Little About Me

The K's are my entire life. Kayla the Princess, Kyrsten the Rebel, and Koen my little man. I love makeup and feel ugly if my toes aren't painted. My dream job is to write greeting cards for Hallmark. The color turquoise makes me smile. I would die without Carmex. My husband and I are each others rock - that's just how we roll! I love my family and friends, they are my everything! Life, Liberty, and the persuit of happiness is the answer. I like to scrabble it up in my free time! I like people who are real - Real crazy! Oh, and if you haven't noticed, I am a scrapbook fanatic! I have been known to run with scissors, please don't tell my mom.
